The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann™

Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison''

@Nina wrote:Or was he just doing the presentation to put things into focus for himself, in which case why have it photographed, and, who took the photograph?

Really don't know anything about Masonic symbols and all that. However if whatever he scribbled down on that paper does represent said symbols, then he's probably stood in the spare room of Rothley Towers with his easel and canvass set up, and K taking a snap.

A call out (again) to fellow Mason's. That's if you subscribe to the Mason's link and all that...

Me - I do think there is a part of it involved.

What about GM's bowing down on the floor in front of the PJ at the OC's reception area when the PJ arrived? They all thought GM had gone nuts. No doubt none of them were affiliated to the Masonics otherwise they would have understood GM's call for help.

Why are you even posting if you have no idea about Masons?

Don't like your tone there Newintown. At all.

Why am I posting.......

Look at the picture that was posted.

Read what I said.

I think there is a Mason link involved.

What's your thoughts then if your an expert in all this?

You seem to be contradicting yourself in your own post.

I didn't say I was an expert "in all this". I was replying to your post. Read your own post before you criticise me. In one sentence you're saying you don't know anything about Masonic symbols and then you're saying in your last sentence you think there is part of it involved.

During my working life, I have given many presentations, it was my job, my profession. I have never used thatshape to accentuate a point. In my opinion, my long retired from professional opinion, that photograph is posed, and for a reason.

I`ve known about this pic for years, but never known where it came from - anyone know?

What I really wanted to know was who took the pic and who published it. As Nina said it was probably published for a reason. It`s GM doing a presentation - but who to and why take a pic of him doing it ?

It doesn't seem to be a meeting room. The easel looks like an art easel, not usual metalsupport. The picture on the wall and the curtain - it looks more like a room in a hotel or average apartment.

Eta: He used the occasion to wear his pants with the dinky buttonson the side. You know, the type of pants the Smiths described so clearly, the pants hastily thrown on the bed in 5a.

Therefore I would put the date of this presentation soon after the Ltd. Co was launched and before the Smiths reported their sighting to the police. At which date the Smith's statement was known to TM is not known, but I would think that the LP liaison passed it on to them.

Therewas a presentation to journalists at Ocean Club - probably the occasion when the McCanns had put a large collection box at the entrance in which the journos were expected to put their 'voluntary' contributions.

Well there is one proven - and very strong - link to the Freemasons in the unfolding mystery of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

And that's EDWARD SMETHURST - the man who became the McCanns' 'co-ordinating lawyer' in September 2007, and who for four years has been a Director of 'Madeleine's Fund'. As I've posted on this forum, he has been a Worshipful Master of the East Lancashire Masonic Lodge for two decades and in 2001 was the Worhsipful Grand Master of the lodge, and so entitled to be known in the Masonic community as a 'Past Grand Master'.

Not only that, but in terms of links, we also know from a source that he has holidayed in apartments in Praia da Luz since 1999, i.e. for the past 15 years.

Smethurst entered the Masonic community at an early age as his father, GERALD SMETHURST, was also a life-long Freemason.

When Edward Smethurst's father died in a mysterious fire on Edward Smethurst's 14th birthday, Edward was 'fathered' and mentored by one of the Masonc Lodge senior Masons, one ALVIN SHUTTLEWORTH.

Shuttleworth was Legal Director at British Nuclear Fuels Ltd (BNFL).

And that's how Smethurst got his first real job.

After getting his law degree, Edward was offered a job as Legal Officer for BNFL, working directly for Alvin Shuttleworth. Edward went on to play a significant part in BNFL's campaign to deny compensation to the many people who lived near BNFL's Sellafield nuclear plant, Cumberland and who developed leukemia, a form of cancer.

Here, EXCLUSIVE TO CMOMM, as they say, is a nice picture of Mr Alvin Shuttleworth and his wife. They are the couple in the middle, framed by the two young ladies either side.

This was taken on the very happy occasion of the opening of what was then Edward Smethurst's latest business venture, the Norden Arms, Rochdale, back on 9 November 2012:

So, 'Newintown', 'fossey' is quite right to raise the Masonic connection

The photo shows her when she was three after a raid on the dressing-up box. She has a pink bow in her hair and a gold bead necklace and is wearing blue eyeshadow. It was taken weeks before the fateful family holiday to the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz when Madeleine vanished”

I'm well aware that GM may have links to the Masons, that's not what I was saying to fossey.

You didn't have to go to so much detail in finding all the connections with Masons to make a point, although sometimes it seems that you can't help yourself. I'm sure you have much more interesting things to do with your life.

Neither you or fossey have understood my post; in answering certain posts I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall, so I won't carry on discussing this.

Blood and cadaver alerts in the McCanns apartment & hire car are ignored by UK Government & Police as they continue to spend millions of pounds investigating the non-existent abduction.

Dr Gonçalo Amaral, retired PJ Coordinator: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened, they don't need to investigate anything. All this is now a mere show off. When MI5 opens their files, then we will know the truth."

Ex-Met DCI Colin Sutton, who had been to Praia da Luz several times for various newspapers: "The most likely hypothesis is that Madeleine was stolen to order by slave traders or people traffickers and smuggled into Africa for a rich family who wanted a white child. She would have taken her beloved toy 'cuddlecat' if she had wandered out of the apartment."

Ex-MET DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window of opportunity', in accordance with their remit, to allow the fake abduction to happen.

Professor Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY News reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after she was singled out from a Dossier handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room. Brenda paid the price.
